Thoughts on The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 3: Verse 6 - Verse 9)

Send us a text

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 3rd chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 10 - 13. Krishna guides us on from the beginning of time, humans have been guided on how to live with nature, to respect nature and we must continuously give back to nature. We are to respect its laws and then we get aplenty back. We have to look after nature, give to nature as you take from nature and there can be universal harmony. This is only if we show our appreciate and show our gratitude. It is not enough to thank just God. We must thank everything that sustains us, even if in the end it is just a projection. If we care for each other, for every living being on the planet, then this Earth can be a paradise and a heaven for every one. We cannot leave any one person out here. Shri Krishna is warning us to not be like this. We must offer back to the universe, to the earth, to living beings with an open heart. Then the universe can give back. But if we just take and not give back, then what can the universe offer back to you. Eventually, it will exhaust itself and what greatness is in your accumulation. Shri Krishna says you are a thief. Don't be selfish, be selfless in all that you do and attain. Give everything and do everything as an offering to others. You will get positive results. It is very simple. But if we have an iota, a speck of selfishness then nothing can stop the negative reactions from any action that we do.
